Looking for anyone to spread some light on the subject of real estate investment it’s something I want to do but don’t know how to go about doing it I have read multiple forms on here any suggestions would be great like attending seminars or books.

Brough to light the fact that monthly cashflows can make so much sense that who cares about the underlying asset.

A commission only job is not something you want to take on lightly and it is good that you are taking your time here.

But to be specific it was new interior trim throughout, cabinets and concrete counters in kitchen and bakers pantry, light fixtures everywhere but bedrooms, flooring throughout entire house, interior paint, complete bathroom remodels, exterior paint, roof, some flower bed stuff out front. 

If you were caught not living there that would break the terms (to put it lightly): http://library.hsh.com/articles/homeowners-repeat-buyers/occupancy-fraud-risks-not-worth-the-rewards.htmlIf you don't plan on living there you'll likely need to put 20%-25% down with a conventional loan. 

I live in Palm Beach county and am looking for light industrial/warehouse/mixed use properties.

So they set all of the gold cars they saw in the parking lot on fire.No caption necessary for this toilet from hell.This is what a kitchen can look like when a low income tenant moves out of it.This is what a backyard can look like when a low income tenant moves out of it.If tenants in these tough neighborhoods don't have yards, don't worry they will light off their fourth of July fireworks in their bathrooms.Don't worry though.

That is, if you trust them not to light something else on fire or set off the smoke detectors.

I would imagine $45k would only cover a light remodel for each unit (new paint, new flooring, new light fixtures).To estimate costs accurately you should really be walking the property and creating a detailed list of the repairs and costs for each item.I would recommend getting The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs to help you learn the basics.I have a spreadsheet in my fileplace that may be helpful as well:https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/drobertson/file/house-flipping-spreadsheet-6-lite

You’d be safer to light a firecracker in your hand and grasp it as tightly as you can and hope it doesn’t blow your hand off (FYI it blows your hand off)
